Its easy to make GUIDs in Haskell. to get GUIDs. This creates version 4 GUIds. Where a '4' begins the third group of digits.

-- This module implements Version 5 UUIDs as specified
-- in RFC 4122.
--
-- These UUIDs identify an object within a namespace,
-- and are deterministic.
--
-- The namespace is identified by a UUID.  Several sample
-- namespaces are enclosed.
